RAISED BY WOLVES Ending Explained! Season 2 Theories, Episode 10 Breakdown, and Details You Missed! 

Brb, gonna be in sim hibernation until season 2! Let me know what you thought of the season! Your theories and anything I missed.

something that wasn't brought up that brings support to the notion that Campion will be a powerful force in the coming seasons against the serpent creature/force/energy, is that in addition to the serpent recoiling in Mother's stomach in response to Campion speaking to it, something that was brought up but never explained was that Campion was the only child who was able to survive eating the radioactive crops. All of the other original children on Kepler 22b were killed off by it at a very young age, but Campion continued to grow and prosper because of something special in his biology that allows him to tolerate radioactive food. The fact that he is named Campion, after the original Campion Sturges, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Campion Sturges knew about the falsity of 'Sol' because he somehow interacted in a way with the serpent energy/5th power and understood its' intentions, and performed some type of bioengineering to make Campion biologically superior than other humans in counteracting this evil serpent energy. After all, whenever any of the Mithraic believers heard the voice in their head--the guy who raped all the women on the Ark, Fake Marcus, or Paul--they were manipulatable enough to believe in Sol and act on the voices they heard. However, when the evil serpent energy tries to convince Campion to kill himself to join the other children, Campion resists and remains devout in his atheistic belief. I think this shows that Campion will be the only one who can truly defeat the serpent energy, and perhaps because Campion Sturges understood the neverending cycle that was occurring, realized that removing this dark photon energy from the future was a requirement for the survival of humankind into the future, and bioengineered Campion to be the one capable of doing so

The pod, that mother enters, where she meets virtual Campion , is the forbidden fruit. She is warned every time that the simulation is not suitable for androids.

I mean the necromancer bringing an extinct species back from the dead suddenly makes the name necromancer make sense.

I felt bad for Father. He had human jealousy and a human reaction to mother’s pregnancy. He even wanted his memories erased. Poor guy.

One thing in the video you said that I have to correct. Sue(Mary) didint actually learn to be a doctor in the sim. She was a doctor in the atheist army or whatever they're called, they just told the original Eminence she learned it in the sim so he wouldn't be suspicious.

"Knock knock" "who's there?" "You won't find out this season"

When father was explaining his dilemma I was like sounds like he needs a divorce 😂

Marcus losing his sanity gave me Ragnar vibe. “Who wants to be king?” And “I’m the king of this world”

Father is the only reason to watch this show at this point lol he need to find himself a good robot girl.

I think when Mother said "You said" when giving birth was directed at her maker. IMO

"We communed in a virtual space and while we did, information was downloaded into my drives." Android speak for entanglements 😂

Poor Travis seems like he’s playing Ragnar again, mannerisms and everything. Every time he said “good boy”

When Mother shouts, "Where is my baby? You said...", the "you" she is talking to is not the voice that other characters have been hearing. She's referring to Campion, her creator, who told her that she would be the mother of the new humanity.

After looking at the scene in this episode of the metal head by the old box... and after mother takes the helmet off, its appears to necromancer skull. My theory is in the past ,the hooded cult was using necromancers imprisoned in these boxes as incubators for these serpents. Looks like the metal helmets were put on the necros backwards to prevent them from using their scream powers . The combination of the metal box and helmet allows only one exit for the snake ....the back of necromancers skull. And if that was a necro head....why didn't mother grab the eyes out for her weapon mode?

Who else thought that the creature protruding out of Mothers mouth was a Xenomorph? Considering Ridley Scott is executive producer on this show.

"As long as it’s suckling, we’re safe. But it grows and I fear that once it has drained me from my milk, it will want blood.” What my wife said word for word after the birth of my first son! ☺

People's first instinct when hearing a voice in their head like this is "obviously it's god" instead of the much more real possibility of it just being a more advanced system of communication ... too real. "Magic is just science too advanced to be understood yet"

Ridley Scott has his Prometheus style in this series, the scene, the atmosphere, everything

Sooo is anyone going to mention how Campion’s voice was able to hurt the snake or at least provoke a reaction while it was in mother’s stomach?

Telepathic flying snakes that mature in a matter of hours, scary stuff

this story feels like it's too open ended to been fully planned from the start.

Tuned in immediately, I've been waiting all day for this one!

Correction: Sue did not learn medicine in the sim. That was the excuse they gave when Mary's medical knowledge had to be explained as it was not part of Sue's service record.

As soon as I saw the holes I knew it would end with a giant worm. Praise be to Shai-Hulud, I mean, Sol!

It also feels like theyve forgotten about the whole prophecy about a an orphan child.

Sol is a giant snake god living in that shape thing in the desert, mother’s memory of the android being surrounded by worshippers was the birth of sol. Since the series has some Christian similarities, the new serpent (being half snake and half android) runs parallel to Jesus being divine and mundane, however I would say this serpent is more like the devil posing as God.

I fear this is going to be just like Prometheus and Covenant: a beautiful mess of themes and images and no resolution to any of your questions.

"Download into my drives." I'm going to remember that one. lol

I love that someone else picked out on the Lost parallels in this show. RBW has lots of the same sort of plot mysteries driven by the same mechanisms as Lost. Throw ontop of that how every episode appears to answer some questions but introduce more at the same time makes this show pretty compelling and also frustrating in other ways :P

Your explanations and theories are way better than Heavy Spoilers. Good job!

you are missing something, the serpents in Kepler 22b never flew (small or big), they were organic 100%, but now they can since they are half organic and half necromancer, that was the whole point, to make the serpent hybrid and more powerful

"How the little piggies would grunt if they knew how the old boar suffered." -Ragnar\Caleb\Marcus

It’s like Adam and Eve story snake speaking is “Sol”. There was probably a snake in black desert cube and speaking from the womb of Mother. Every time someone hears voice it sounds like a low budget Harry Potter snake language

Yeah the show got weird in a hurry.

To everyone saying devolution isn’t a term that’s not the point they are trying to tell you that the humans are losing their higher intelligence and reverting to a more primitive animalistic state But that’s a lot of words so devolving is used and a side not to all the devolving or devolution is 100% a word/term that can be used in this scenario

At this point it’s fair to assume that everything Mother remembers and has experienced in virtual could be totally fabricated by the voice/serpent(s). So there could be a big reveal when she finds out her actual personal history. So any random change in direction is on the table.

Just watched 5 of these “ending explained” videos. By far this one aligns with my own theories as well. Best take IMO. Looper missed the second arrival of inhabitants were atheists. Good work.

2:15 No, that was not the entities voice speaking to Mother. She was referring to what it told her in the Sim. You said "the future of humanity is growing inside of you" (episode 8).

Also, thanks for explaining what was happening in the vision! You are right, the skull she finds is very similar to an android, maybe even specifically a Necromancer like her! I didn't make the connection the one in the vision that's trapped in dodecahedron was probably pregnant like the Mother! That makes a lot of sense! Maybe, the temple dodecahedron in the desert has one giant snake actually trapped in it too.

I found it very amusing to hear and see Mother describe 'mating' in a very sophisticated fashion. Reminded me of the word "entanglement" by Jada P. Smith

I just hope they leave us with more answers than questions cuz its starting to feel like those shows that keep on showing random things and never explaining them.

???? How is it bad cgi. What more did you want for an alien snake creature

I just realized Mother got pregnant in a vision like the holy Mary

that snakes teeth looks like Paul's hand made trap

Anyone else notice that mother and father flying into the molten core of the planet, not only resembled an egg and sperm (obviously) - but also the bit in the opening credits where the ship arrives from whatever version of hyperspace they have and falls towards the planet - beauty and destruction in one

I must say the CGI is fine, it served the storytelling purpose. But of course it was helped by solid writings.

Androids ✔ Future ✔ Mysterious planet✔ Body horror birth✔ At this point it's basically Aliens/Prometheus in a new packaging

Everybody is talking about the show Give some appreciation for elaborator man!☺️ He's explained it beautifully!

Great analysis!! I noticed that skull was an Android too!! And the mask has a cylindrical opening as well, and the way we saw mother give birth seems like it must have been the same way for that android, and the natives just made it more ritualistic but the same process, and they both vomited white blood.

Best explanation video I’ve seen on this show!! Awesome! Thank you for the effort put into this video!

Guys does no one notice that all the people hearing the voice hear it because of emotional distress. there is also my theory that this voice kills mentally unstable people. Like the guy burn by the rock. Yet it didn't burn that boys hand. If you are guilty (people with seriously hidden baggage)it feeds of of you. if you are innocent. It has no power over you. Hearing the voice is not a good thing it turns you crazy. Yet these people still think it is God and follow it

Ridley Scott really is fixated on Aliens and Prometheus. How many incarnations is he going to churn out??

Excellent review! Ridley Scott's obsession with androids and aliens is almost always fascinating. I'm starting to suspect that those four legged creatures may also be devolved humans.

0:00 the real powers of Love Sausage in The Boys.

SCIFI IS BACK BABY

When you order Alien burger, but get Cthulhu nuget instead.

Mother's "child" looked exactly like a G'ould from Stargate

The snake reminds me of the Mayan snake god Kukulkan & it's design for the show looks like the creatures from the Stephen King movie Dreamcatcher...like, exactly.

This show made me wanna survive 2020 to be able to see season 2.

The lander is pretty much indestructible. Flies right through the magma core and crashes full speed into the surface. Maybe build the Ark with the same specs.

The worm has Powers. It's a telepath and a telekinetic parasite

This series gives me west world vibes not on the surface but key concepts

I think it's hard to explain why they couldn't have an ultrasonography inspection on Mother, then they found what the baby is by earlier ... ...

Each episode I was expecting mother to break into song with, “Here comes the rain again.” Yet. It never came.

I just noticed the head Mother pulled from the helmet.. Looked to have those braids she has when in battle mode..

remember Marcus said before they wait Mother get in the pod? "It will make her be in a loop". Aight, Marcus was already talked by "Sol" and maybe he did something to the pod guided by "Sol", and boom, snake out.

+ tbh, I was expecting a hybrid of something of a vampiric alien & android, not a literal serpent-like creature LOL + In Dark Souls series (games), the "primordial serpents" are a very intelligent smart & cunning serpent-like creatures that basically manipulate behind the scenes & have a pivotal roles to the world's (planet) destiny. So maybe this other godly beings who manipulate other intelligent beings are in similar effects, manipulating the minds for their own agenda? + I think Campion is "the leader" of the "pack" (yes, yes, obvious metaphor for wolves here), but he is not the "chosen one." There is really no "chosen one" as pretty much both Marcus & Paul confirmed to be infected with hallucination from other "godly beings" in the end, they do make their own paths. + Once again, I think both the "serpent" & the giant pentagon cube are different entities & I still think that pentagon cube is a super computer made by the native people to counter this other godly being's hallucination & whispers. + Looking at it again, it's not just Mithraic & Christianity mythos, but also somewhat Norse mythology. Jormungandr (giant serpent) is the child of Loki (The "trickster" god) & Angrboda (female jotunn/giantess). Not only that, Angrboda also birthed the "wolves" AKA Fenrir. If we take a look at this mythos, then: - Loki: Trickster god, hallucination being, the so called "Sol." - Angrboda: powerful jotunn, powerful android/necromancer, basically "Mother." Also named "Lamia," another greek mythlogy name after a hybrid snake creature. - Fenrir: the wolves. Campion & his pack - Odin: a prophetic god who lose his eye. Maybe it represent "Marcus?" He didn't lose his eye, but he was kinda dying from eating an eye, symbolically baptized in dying & rebirth from it. + the metal tarot card pretty much revealed also the past memories of the natives people trying to contained the "serpent" birth via that cube incubator. Once again kinda proved there is a conflict between pentagon cube & the godly beings that trying to birth a "serpent." This is also why the hallucination & whispers made Marcus didn't kill mother & stabbed himself, while Paul being whispered to burn the tarot cards.

Btw: The snake flies with the same sound as mother flies in Necromancer form - (metallic vibrations sound effect)

Mother's baby remind me of the baby from Eraserhead, disturbing

Mother: "We Communed in a Virtual Space, and while we did (Information was downloaded into my drives)" Well played Ridley Scott and Aaron Guzikowski.....well played.

Most unique sci fi ever. Loved it, can't wait for season 2

this show is heavily loaded with random references already, now I felt drowning with the last episode. I only hope Father would stop sacrificing himself so much in the second season

Ive just watched the entire series 1 today. OMFG. It is absolutely incredible. I’m literally buzzing. I loved it. Big up RIDLEY SCOTT. mind blown. Bring on S2 !!!!! Take a bow !!!!!!!! 👏

So, "The voice" told Paul to take Mother's eyes because she could easily vaporize the serpents I'm guessing. I'm a bit confused on the purpose of these serpents though as, if they feed on humans, they are so large that they would need a population in the millions or billions to keep fed. This is all so weird.

I didn’t even think about the ancient serpents making the holes. Crazy thing is that this story is a repeat of history.

Why not killing the serpent with rock or something? How did the lander make it through the molten core of the planet? How did the serpent grew 100x in size? The show was just flushed down the toilet in the last episode.

Mary was a medic in the army. She said she would use learning medicine in the sim as why she is able to be an accomplished doctor.

Just looked up this vid after watching the season finale. Needles to say this episode dialed the weird up to 11, I have no idea what’s going on. Thanks for the vids, I’ll be sure to look back for past ones to try to find some light as to what it all means as I still find the series weird but enjoyable. Now to off watch the next episode of The Boys!

The human kind of creature that is on the painting by the earth that he is talking about at 5:35 ish looks just like the creatures that were attacking the kids and eating the fungus all over the planet. Notice that it has the same shape and a tail...

_"I've had it with these monkey fighting snakes, on this Monday to Friday plane."_ - Cable TV Cut

I lost it at the snakes on the plane clip 😂😂😂

Looks like a creature from the good old Dreamcather movie.

Hahaha Ragnar’s version of Valhalla was none of what he expected

9 episodes just to see a flying deep sea fish come out of an androids mouth and learn nothing ...I don't mind a bit of mystery but this episode tells me the whole series is going to go on being just as unsatisfying...

Your comments are so uncalled for but i love them. They’re hilarious😂

My predictions based on some hints.. • The Sol is a kind of AI or an alpha type necromencer or a very high tech alien's android. • Sol and the necromencer are originated from planet Kepler-22b. • The skull mother discovered in the cave right before she gave birth is a necromencer skull. • Marcus & Paul can hear the voice/whisper of Sol because there is a device planted in their head that Sol can connect to. • The serpent is Sol's pet.

She didn't learn to become a doctor while in hibernation. Vikings guy brings up that she needs to have a way to explain where her medicinal skills came from and she made that excuse up. I am figuring she learned those skills while in the atheist military and was some type of field doctor/medic.

Um, maybe kill the serpent while it's tiny and distracted by feeding?

I think Mary was already a doctor, but used the virtual reality as an excuse of how she suddenly was a medic where she wasn't before

You know that tune that Mother was humming? That was “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree”. If you click the RU-vid link to verify wait for the chorus at about 0:50. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YcyiC79l910.html

When she yells "where is my baby, you said.." im pretty sure she was talking to who she thinks is her creator and not sol.

If this series somehow connected to Aliens or Prometheus. Man, i'm gonna be so pissed off.

Any thoughts about the voice telling campion to "kill his father"? Also why can campion and the other little girl (cant remember her name) keep seeing tally?

What made me laugh the most is Holy believing the "tooth" saved them from the metal head guy

The "voice of saul" started on the ship tho ...I think the arc brought it to the planet ...the creatures weren't seen before that either

The serpent is a proto-alien. Just like the aliens would pick up the characteristics of their hosts. Remember the dog like attributes of the alien when it came from a dog? And the aliens look like aliens from the movies, but only earlier in their evolution.

I didn’t care for this final episode. What was the point of having that mystery being follow them to only to be killed as soon as it comes into contact with Mother. I thought that we would get answers from that being following them.

you missed the part where "the king" got his butt kicked and was fed the eyes, and the white fluid seen coming out his mouth. so are the eyes still intact? likely, yes. but it was odd that the last episode didn't include any such scene when "the king" woke up from his butt whooping. no scene ever showed him re-securing the eyes.

I think the Mithraic soldiers forcefully made Marcus swallow mother's eye that's why stuff was coming out of his mouth at the end of that episode. So mother's eye seem to be gone
